A glass piece said to be intended for Apple’s 2027 iPhone 20 Pro has appeared in a video shared by Ice Universe, pointing to a display design that curves into the frame on all four sides. If genuine, the component would mark a shift toward curved edges at a time when many Android makers have moved back to flat displays.
The sample appears to curve along its left, right, top and bottom edges. However, it is only a piece of protective glass rather than a working phone, so it does not show the extent of any curvature in the active display area. Its provenance also cannot be independently verified.
Small cutouts are visible at the top of the glass. They could be connected to a redesigned selfie camera and Face ID layout, although the sample does not confirm the final placement of those components. Earlier rumors have pointed to a smaller front cutout and the possibility of moving some sensors beneath the display.
Separate reports have suggested that the anniversary-generation Pro models may also use rear glass that curves toward the sides, visually covering part of the metal frame. Rumored display sizes are about 6.41 inches for the Pro and 6.96 inches for the Pro Max.
The expected 2027 launch would coincide with 20 years since the first iPhone. Reports have speculated that Apple could skip the iPhone 19 name in favor of iPhone 20, but the product name, design and specifications remain unconfirmed until Apple reveals the devices.
